Thread: Assessing resulting vertical spread from ES (or SD) for your load at distance

Too true on both points Eben. So here is what I plan to do: lug around the Labradar and record every long range shot from now on AND use the TargetCam to identify and tie POI to MV for each shot as I fire them off, then I can go back and remove the theoretical ES contribution and see just how poor a shooter I really am from what is left - at least in a vertical sense !
I'm hoping on the second point you raised that a combination of low ES and the heavier barrel profile will minimise that to the point where it can be considered negligible. To date I haven't identified anything in the 6.5x47 other than a smooth rise in POI up the target with increasing MV. Perhaps it would be nice to have some sort of whipping node to base my preferred loads around, but I haven't found a significant one yet in the current set-up.
As for emailing, my original post had one method of getting the ballistics programs to output the correct information, and Bagheera came up with an alternative input method, so I believe we are sorted for now.
